Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower // Performage Trapeze Magician // Cyber Dragon Nova

Great question! Off the top of my head would be Cipher and Performage.

They could print a lot of the Performage cards from the anime, but those don't really help Performage that much. Rather, my proposal is to make the archetype centered around a Rank 4 Swarm, similar to Clown Blade decks in 2015, with a Fusion sub-theme. Considering the character who plays Performage, Dennis MacField, I think that the Extra Deck should be just as two-faced as he is. The Xyz Monsters are all LIGHT and have aggressive abilities, where the Fusions contrast them being dark and having a supportive control effect. They could also give Performage Plushfire an errata and take it off the ban list.

Next on the chopping block is Cipher. Compared to its ZEXAL counterpart in Galaxy Photon, Cipher isn't good. However, it has plenty of potential to be. Cipher Wing and Cipher Twin Raptor have built in Special Summoning conditions, and are both Level 4 monsters. You could make the archetype dedicated to Summoning Rank 4 and Rank 8 monsters with a splash of Rank-Ups. And, since Cipher has a hard time reaching its own boss monster, make a few of the new Ciphers Level 8.

You could also print Kaito's Cipher Interference from the anime and give it a Level matching effect at the cost of a discard. Or, have that be a hard once per turn effect with the ATK Doubling be at the cost of sending it to the GY.
